A colleague of mine really likes VSCode for Node, as it's more of an IDE than Sublime text. However, for text editing, outside of vim itself, I haven't encountered anything remotely as good as sublime text. Really. Why would I use Atom with all its slowness for most text editing tasks? And VSCode has more features than I need for text editing. Is it particularly pleasant to open a bunch of XML, JSON, YAML, etc files in VSCode?

Before Sublime, textmate was okay but I always liked BBEdit/TextWrangler for OSX best. Crimson Editor was the best thing I could find for Windows in the early 2000's, before I moved away from Windows environment.

When was the last time you used atom? I switched from sublime a few months ago and have been quite happy. The only thing I really miss is an easy Node.js build system. I probably just haven't figured out the atom equivalent.

I haven't tried Atom since one of its earlier releases. I haven't tried it again since the slowness seems to be the number one complaint. I figure when it's not the most common complaint, maybe it'll be worth another shot; I suppose if everyone is doing this and makes comments like my previous one, no one will actually ever try it again.
